Rev. Grant Odhner
UK National & Pastor, Michael Church, London
I am pleased to be serving the Lord here in the UK and London. After nearly twenty years training ministers in New Church teaching at Bryn Athyn College of the New Church, it is great to return to shepherding a congregation. The teachings of the New Church open the Scriptures in an amazing way. They help us see the Lord’s consistent love and be led in the sure path He sets before us. It is my passion to help people know the Lord and live in His light.
My wife Sarah is an educator, developing religious programs for the wider church. I’m indebted to her for the many gracious ways she helps me in my work. We have been married for forty-two years and raised six wonderful children. Having grown up in London, Sarah brings a deep love of the country, the city, and its people.
Sarah and I share a love of music, natural history, and the arts, among other interests.

I have just retired from being the Dean of the Theological School in Bryn Athyn. I was born and raised in South Africa. After ordination Cara and I served for three years in Caryndale, Kitchener, Ontario. That was followed by over fourteen years as the pastor of the New Church Buccleuch, Johannesburg.

Aside from teaching I love biblical exposition. Church history is another passion. I have always had a deep interest in British history, an excited to serve the UK.
